I just replaced the one in my Denali with a Mishimoto. It’s actually easier than changing the oil. Granted my front end was apart, but still…it’s not that difficult. Not worth paying the stealership for.
What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

She must've been a beast.
Reminds me of the story my 4 older siblings told me about the time my dad finally agreed to take them kite flying back in the early 70's. My brother had been pestering my dad to take them and when finally agreed and took them out to my uncles pasture, he was so excited that he slammed the back door of the car and since the window was only part way up, it ended up in pieces all across the back seat. My dad was pissed and promptly swept most of the glass off the backseat and onto the floor board and told the 4 of them to get back in the car and took them home.
some of it I feel like newer cars you can slam them without it being a big deal. Lotta engineering into making a door sound solid. the older the car it feels way worse.
but most people cars and just appliances to them. it's like asking why you slammed the door to the dryer.
that and when grown men tag my equipment saying it doesn't turn on, when they mean it doesn't start drives me nuts. but to them the ign switch is just an off and on switch. they don't consider or care at all how an vehicle works.

I wouldn't even have a chance to open the doors for them. As soon as I put it in park and the doors unlock they're already out of the vehicle. I haven't even shut it off yet, and usually still grabbing my glasses or something off the console. Don't know what the hurry is these kids have.
Same. They're animals. When we're old, I'm going to ride in their cars and spill gummi bears on the carpet, leave empty cans and wrappers all over the place, and slam the doors so hard they rattle.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Going to install a new front driveshaft. The trainwreck of a previous U-joint replacement and balance of both shafts by a local franchise left me with the welcomed decision to cut my losses and have the Driveshaft Shop build be a new shaft.
I tried to source a new OEM shaft but kept coming up empty, I feel for the long hail this is the better option.
I'll get a side by side pic later. I'm very impressed with the build quality of this.

I went with a NAPA radiator, fairly quick and easy change.
Is your airbag being changed under warranty? If not, and if the steering wheel bag, that's a 5 min swap if you want to DIY.
Takes longer to find the right angle to depress the release than unplugging and reinstalling the bag.

Sweet revenge! Mine have a huge pile of karma just waiting for them.Same. They're animals. When we're old, I'm going to ride in their cars and spill gummi bears on the carpet, leave empty cans and wrappers all over the place, and slam the doors so hard they rattle.

Don't give 'em a choice, do a PPV style rear door handle disconnect!
Looks like I'm going to have the parts to rebuild the rear diff in the '12 XL Denali (8.6")
If anyone has the torque specs handy, I'm looking for the rotating torque for both pinion and carrier with new bearings.
What I have is:
65 foot pounds for ring gear
60 foot pounds for carrier bearing cap
14-19 inch pounds rotating for new pinion bearing.
Once the carrier shims are snug I will start with .004 on each side additional for preload then check
I believe it's 20-25 inch pounds for the carrier but not sure, which would equate to an additional 5.8-7.3 inch pounds to the pinion rotating torque with a 3:42 axle ratio.
I want to say @swathdiver might have this info.
Anyone feel free to chime in.

the airbag being changed is the passenger one above the glove box, not the drivers
funny, sometimes mine will just sit there in it and I have to tell them to get out, if I am not there when they get out I might come out to a door still open later

My kiddo used to slam the door every time. When I used to drop her off at high school I told her that if she slammed the door I would honk the horn and everyone would look. Only happened twice. Behavior modified successfully.
Genius!
was behind a clean yukon denali xl in that kinda rare gray color this morning in a drive thru. thing was very clean and I've always liked that color. I didn't realize he had it shut off to order, when it fired it up definitely had some louder than stock exhaust and you could hear the text book miss, and then the valve train tap.
probably just out driving it till it stops and ends up in a junkyard. such a shame what gm did with these engines. if I didn't have way to many cars and projects I'd have been tempted to ask if he wanted to sell it for cheap to save it.

I see these coming up on Marketplace all the time with lifter problems going for cheap. Someday I'll find a 2015+ in otherwise good shape and will snap it up.
